Riassunto

Character-driven space opera, perfect for fans of Serenity

Humanity has expanded into the stars, but at the price of its freedom. An autocratic Government rigidly controls every technical and scientific advancement; deviation is punishable by death; and out on the edges of space, criminals thwart the law, making money out of illegal tech, their ships jumping from galaxy to galaxy to avoid detection. Ex-soldier Frank Pak doesn't care about politics or breaking the law, he just wants to keep his ship running. When he's offered a contract to escort a runaway back home to his loving family, he doesn't ask questions?but his cargo is more dangerous than he realizes. Jeven Jones is no ordinary passenger?a result of illegal human experimentation, he's a fast-tracked evolutionary leap into the future. Thanks to his ability for perfect recall and a series of mental skills that he has no control over, Jones is a wanted man. The Government wants him dead, while revolutionaries want to use him to unlock every advancement the Government has ever denied them. If Jones lives he'll start a war. If he dies the entire future of humanity dies with him.
